    I was watching it with the sound off (wife and daughter were watching tv) - it was a bunch of carbon you pour in and after that was a bag of white crystal looking stuff on top of that.

    If you buy from them (which I will the first time), it comes with a funnel and some other attachments so I'll probably do that the first time and follow their video. The most difficult part will be dragging the damn thing out of the house and then back again.

    I agree completely. Will probably have to wait on it right now. Word is that the plumbers and hardware stores are all out of plumbing fittings. I'm going to put it on the list to have done in the next few months.

    The city is having the water tested, they are pretty sure the water didn't get contaminated because of a system they put in place but they probably won't have the results until Monday. I'm going to go ahead and order the replacement carbon right now.

    Thanks! I have similar one for our fancy Scotsman ice maker. I need to check our LG and make sure it allows for a filter bypass.

    The boil water notice was lifted today - the city had the water tested and nothing nasty got into it so that's a relief. Apparently the pressure had only dropped 2psi below the threshold.
